Hi Antti,

I agree. If rtl2832_rd_demod_reg() in line 696 doesn't set tmp it is because
it has errored out. Which means rtl2832_read_status() itself will goto err
before the check for 'if (tmp == 11)' line that generates the warning.

I mentioned this in my commit message :)

If you prefer I use the 'u32 tmp = tmp;' I am happy to change my patch.
You say you are fine with zero initialization too, but I prefer offering
whatever you think is best.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this,
Luis
